A mosque? Don’t the members of this mosque know that Islam is a religion of peace? Surely that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Sopore now to explain to the Muslims in this mosque how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”

“Priority was to evacuate child during terrorist attack,” ANI, July 2, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Sopore (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 1 (ANI): It was the police’s priority to evacuate the child during the terrorist attack and it was very challenging as terrorists were firing upon policemen, said Azim Khan, SHO Sopore on Wednesday.

“When we reached the site, what we saw was disturbing. Our priority was to evacuate the child. It was very challenging as terrorists were firing upon us. The child was going to Handwara with his grandfather,” Khan said while speaking to media.

The police rescued 3-year-old child during the attack.

Earlier in the day, a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan and a civilian lost their lives after terrorists fired upon a CRPF patrolling party in Sopore….

As the troops were de-bussing from the vehicles to occupy their respective spots of deployment, terrorists hiding in the attic of a nearby mosque started firing indiscriminately on the troops, in which CRPF jawans constable Bhoya Rajesh, Head Constable Deep Chand Verma, Nilesh Chawde and Constable Deepak Patil got injured. Later Deep Chand succumbed to his injuries.

Explaining the circumstances, a senior CRPF official told ANI that when terrorists fired at the CRPF party, two vehicles immediately moved in and took positions facing the terrorists who were firing from a height using floors of the mosque….

“Later, a child who was deceased’s relative sat on his body and was rescued by security forces. In a picture also, it is evident that the security force personnel signalling the child to come close to him and the jawan has faced his weapon in front as the fire was coming from the mosque,” he said.(ANI)
